i was thrilled to hear from catholic charities and our catholic healthcare networks that all of our facilities are open, running and welcoming people in need. tomorrow, please, god i'm going to go out to staten island which was so devastated, and this afternoon i hope to visit some of the shelters that are serving people so well. martha: you know, cardinal, when you look at some of this. and i know when you get a first-hand look at it it's going to be shocking to you as well, and you're not from new york. >> no. martha: but we all have embraced having you here and we think of you as a new yorker now, what about that spirit of this community in new york, and new jersey and the surrounding states, in connecticut, long island have you learned about the people here as you have worked? >> it's phenomenal. i learned about it from a distance as the rest of the country and indeed the world did after 9/11. i heard about it from a distance. now i see it firsthand, and i'm not surprised. any other time in the almost four years this i've had the honor to be archbishop in new york that tragedies happened p
